2Overlap: where the two tags meet

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 22 games tagged both Family Friendly and Fantasy priced $10 to $20. 0.0 in 100 of them earned $100k+, against 11.4 for Family Friendly-only games and 11.8 for Fantasy-only games, so games with both tags did worse than games with either tag alone.

Both: 22 games priced $10 to $20; 0.0 in 100 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $1,942.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 22 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
